albums of the decade - 76. DJ Signify - Of Cities
76. DJ Signify - Of Cities (2009)
Gritty and not shitty, 'Of Cities' feels like a real find, not in a treasure-found-at-sea kind of way, but like rooting around in a garbage chute and finding a bit of mackerel. So, DJ Signify is like DJ Shadow mixed with early Moby. With not a great deal of critical acclaim behind him, or much coverage of any kind as a matter of fact, this whole tapestry - his masterpiece - could be licensed out to commercials, making fluffy advertising feel more 'urban' - fuck that word - but DJ Signify is ironically 'significant' in a bleak anonymity. The beats are as crisp as potato chips and Aesop Rock is on absolute fire in 'Low Tide.' It'll blow your lowly brains out. Go get!
